Minato hugged Souji back. He had to understand that they coped in different ways. All Minato wanted was for Souji to know that whatever he was feeling, Minato would be here for him. He knew it would still bother Souji, and Minato didn't know if he could do anything about that either, as much as Minato wanted to.

"Okay."

He pulled Souji down onto the bed with him, slowly though and hugged him again.

"... I don't want to hide anything from you either."
